The Love Island star, 34, looked sensational in the clip as she wowed in a sheer black body con dress while away in Mykonos. Cosying up to her close pal Luke Hamnett the pair leaned in for a passionate kiss as the caption read: 'We would be the perfect couple'.

Maura has jetted off to the sunny location with fellow Love Island stars Sophie Piper and Samie Elishi for a brand trip with Space NK. The trip comes after her big return to the red carpet, following her 'drunken' kiss scandal with McFly 's Danny Jones earlier this year. The brunette beauty pulled out all the stops at the BAFTA TV Awards earlier this month, turning heads in a backless blue gown with a huge skirt. But while she made sure all eyes were on her on her arrival, Maura was later pictured sitting alone during the ceremony and reportedly didn't stay long before making a sneaky backdoor exit. In a photograph exclusively obtained by MailOnline, the presenter could be seen sitting by herself on her phone in her stunning ball gown at the event. Meanwhile, in pictures published on The Sun, she later risked the wrath of BAFTA as she left an hour into the ceremony as she snuck into a taxi. A source told the publication: 'Maura wanted her red carpet return to be a big moment. She thinks enough time has passed — she can't hide forever.' Explaining how her huge dress meant she was uncomfortable in the cramped hall they continued: 'She was talking about her dress taking up too much space and was absolutely boiling.

Maura hit the headlines in March, after she and Danny, 39, were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I'm A Celeb together last year. The married singer is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'. Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, until her big return at the BAFTAs, where she kept mum on the kiss. While she wasn't at risk of any awkward reunions with Danny as he reportedly skipped the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife. Danny previously issued a public apology to Georgia and their seven-year-old son Cooper, admitting he was 'deeply sorry' and vowing to deal with things privately. It is over a month since Danny and Georgia have been pictured together in public after they seemingly put on a 'united front' and decided to remain in their 10-year relationship. In Georgia's recent Instagram update on Wednesday, she shared a series of recent photos with Cooper and her friends - with Danny missing.

'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends. 'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.' But now the singer is also making his TV return and will join the second series of You Bet!, ITV's rebooted challenge show, hosted by Stephen Mulhern. Danny will appear alongside former I'm A Celeb campmate Oti Mabuse and Olympian Greg Rutherford, and has already filmed some segments at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Another snap showed the pair strolling through Paris hand-in-hand on a girls' trip while they were also seen in a cheesy selfie. Earlier on Monday, Molly-Mae shared sweet snaps with her two-year-old daughter Bambi on Sunday during a fun-filled trip to Disneyland Paris. The influencer and businesswoman was celebrating her 26th birthday on Monday in France and had taken a private jet there earlier in the day. Molly-Mae donned sweet Minnie Mouse ears as she wandered around the park with Bambi in her arms. She shared a cute video of Bambi on a merry go round and penned in the caption: 'Mummy I want to go on my own horse!' Molly-Mae was joined by a pal for the trip who she posed with alongside as well as her little one. For the day out she looked casually chic in a beige coat and light blue jeans teamed with a white T-shirt. On Sunday the TV star took to her Instagram stories as she teased an array of snaps from her trip - days after the star returned from a Dubai getaway with Tommy Fury. The influencer and businesswoman was celebrating her 26th birthday on Monday in France and had taken a private jet there earlier in the day Capturing her daughter Bambi inside the airport ahead of their flight, she captioned: 'Let's go Disney!!!'

The ITV star appeared over the moon as she prepared to celebrate her birthday in style, not long after sharing an array of photographs from her stunning trip to Dubai with Tommy Fury, 26. Earlier on Sunday the TV star took to her Instagram stories as she teased an array of snaps from her trip - days after the star returned from a Dubai getaway with her fiancé Tommy Fury The influencer and the boxer have reunited after their shock split in August, with a source telling The Sun that they are in the 'honeymoon period again'. They marked their reunion by jetting off for a week away with their daughter Bambi and Molly-Mae had been documenting the trip on her Instagram page. In a post, shared to the platform on Wednesday, Molly-Mae showed off her incredible figure in an array of swimwear as she showed off her holiday wardrobe. Molly-Mae and Tommy touched back down at Manchester Airport on Wednesday following their romantic holiday abroad. The star later revealed though that she had been rushed to hospital shortly after arriving home. The Maebe founder explained in her recent YouTube video on Saturday that she was suffering with 'severe pain' in her leg following the long-haul flight and was told to urgently go to A&E to get it checked. Molly said she feared she had a blood clot in her leg after feeling a 'sharp, stabbing pain' in her leg which then moved to her knee and ankle. She soon called 111, when she started to feel her leg go numb, and was told by a doctor to go straight to hospital. She said: 'Basically yesterday I thought I had a blood clot and half of today I thought I had a blood clot in my leg. 'Obviously flying home from Dubai I was on the plane for like nearly eight hours… I didn't drink like hardly any water. 'You know when you're in mum mode and you're just not really thinking like you're trying to tame your child. 'I was in so much pain, like it was in the back of my knee, so so strong. Like it didn't feel like a dead leg, it was like a sharp stabbing pain… 'Then it's moving down into my calf, into my ankle, into my foot, like my whole calf is just in so much pain.' 'I was in A&E for absolutely hours. It was absolutely packed, it was such a sad environment, so many poorly people.' But after waiting for four hours in A&E for a blood test, Molly was told she needed to wait another hour and then a further three for the results to see a doctor. Worried about not getting back to take Bambi to nursery in the morning, Molly went back home. She said: 'I need to leave. Like I can't stay here any longer… We had like nothing with us this morning.' The next day, Friday morning, Molly woke up with a lot less pain until she was hit with a wave of dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath later that afternoon. She said: 'I had this awful awful like dizzy spell where the room was spinning. I thought I was going to vomit… 'I had this really really funny time where I was like I couldn't breathe properly… almost like a bit of a panic attack but like it was just horrible.' Rushing back to hospital, Molly went back to the hospital to get a full round of tests - which came back clear. She continued: 'They said that I'm completely fine, like all my vitals… my heart rate, blood test, everything was absolutely fine. 'Like there was nothing that showed them any sort of concern or anything about a blood clot.' Molly later stressed to her fans the importance of taking blood clots and health seriously. The Dubai trip marked Molly's sixth holiday of the year having already jetted off to locations including Switzerland, Paris and St. Moritz already in 2025. She also flew to Dubai with Tommy in March with their daughter Bambi, and they then recreated the trip with another relaxing voyage to their favourite destination. At the time, Molly-Mae referred to their first trip as 'the best holiday of her life' after fans were sent wild over whether she and Tommy had reunited. She then confirmed in the second part of her Amazon documentary that they were giving things another go.
